An embedded dashboard is an analytics dashboard that appears directly on a Rhythm Console page. Rhythm displays the dashboard securely on the page, and the embedded analytics tool reads and presents the data.
It Only Ever Shows Your Own Organization's Data
Each time you open an embedded dashboard, Rhythm tags that dashboard session with your organization before sending it to the analytics tool. If Rhythm staff open a dashboard on your behalf, their session is limited to your organization for that visit, too.
This separation also depends on the analytics tool being set up to respect that organization tag. Rhythm sends the tag every time, but it cannot tell whether that setup is missing in the analytics tool.
Rhythm identifies you to the analytics tool the same way each time you visit. It uses an identifier tied to your organization, along with your name and email, so your saved dashboards and usage history stay connected to you the next time you open one.
Why What You Can Do Varies
You may see different dashboard options than another staff member because Rhythm checks two things before showing them:
| What decides it | What it affects |
|---|---|
| Whether the page allows AI-assisted querying for your organization | Whether you can only view the dashboard on the page, or also ask new questions and build your own view of the data. |
| Your own permissions | Whether Rhythm shows you the page and its dashboard controls at all. |
As with any Console page, your permissions decide what you can see. See How the Console Decides What You Can See for the general rules.
For embedded dashboards, Rhythm checks the required permissions every time you load a page with a dashboard. It does not reuse what you were allowed to do on an earlier visit. If Rhythm cannot get an answer from that permission check, it refuses the request instead of assuming you should have access.
That is why two staff members with different roles can see different dashboard options on what looks like the same page. Rhythm checks each person individually instead of using a cached or shared setting.
Some dashboards add another gate on top of these two checks. For example, the usage and cost dashboard that shows your organization's AI usage is only available when your organization's Omni integration permission is turned on and the related platform setting is also enabled. You will not see it if only one of the two is on. When a dashboard like this is available, administrators see only their own organization's usage and cost figures.
Building Your Own View Never Changes What Colleagues Share
If a page lets you build your own dashboard view, Rhythm still gives you only viewer-level access to your organization’s shared dashboard folders. Building something for yourself does not let you change or overwrite a dashboard your colleagues already share.
If you want to share a dashboard you built, you do that outside Rhythm’s embedded page, directly in the analytics tool.
